It includes six newly remixed and extended versions of the album, nine unique meditation mixes, soothing mantras, and an exclusive metronome designed specifically for this release. An ambient mode further enhances the listening experience, allowing users to modify and engage with the tracks in entirely new ways. This innovative approach invites both long-time fans and new listeners to interact with the album in a deeply personal and transformative manner. Quote “The idea of gamifying the Mind Games album has manifested as an incredible limited-edition speaker and radio that will allow you to modify this classic John Lennon album in ambient mode in a way that’s never been done. I truly can’t wait for people to try it!” - Sean Ono Lennon The OB-4 speaker itself is a marvel of modern audio technology, functioning as both a high-fidelity FM radio and a Bluetooth speaker. It features a unique two-hour loop recording function, enabling users to rewind, stretch, and loop live radio. With an impressive battery life—72 hours of radio play or 40 hours of Bluetooth streaming on a single charge—this speaker is more than just a novelty. It’s a practical and stylish addition to any audiophile’s collection.
